And although I once painted still lifes, landscapes and abstractions, almost all of my professional life has been devoted to portraits. In fact, today I work exclusively in portraiture. People remain my greatest interest.

I love the tactile nature of collage. The ability to move the pieces of colour and mold them into shapes, the dramatic changes that come with each layer. It gives me great enjoyment to see someone looking at my work trying to figure out what has gone into the painting to create the texture.
